Everyone's eyes widened immediately, even Jiang Ling was no exception.
I saw a disciple wearing sect costumes wrapped around the end of every branch!
These disciples obviously do not come from the same sect, but from many sects.
"There are actually so many sect disciples here. It seems that we are not the first wave of guests in Sunset Town."
Jiang Ling withdrew the Red Lotus Spiritual Fire because he could still feel that these sect disciples were still alive, but all of them were weak and unconscious. If they were accidentally killed, it would be a serious matter.
"It seems that the Man-Faced Ghost Tree has such huge power to support such a large environment and can resist the burning of the red lotus spiritual fire. It is constantly absorbing the spiritual power of these sect disciples."
Now, everyone understands the problem. If you want to deal with the Man-Faced Ghost Tree, you must cut off the source of its power, which is these sect disciples who are used as nutrients!
"Hmm... Everyone, although we have never met these Taoist friends, we are both from the righteous sect, so how can we ignore death? But this will also make them owe us a huge favor..."
At this point, Jiang Ling looked like he was hesitating to speak. Seeing this, Xiao Qingyun rolled his eyes a few times and said quickly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, it's okay to say it!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ling could only say reluctantly: "It is most difficult to repay favors between monks, so in order to prevent these fellow Taoists from being embarrassed when the time comes, we can just collect some spiritual stones and don't let them bear too much.
.”
When everyone heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched immediately. It was the first time they heard this saying. Favors must be repaid with spiritual stones.
but……
This method is good and reasonable!
At this moment, these sect disciples suddenly opened their eyes collectively, but there was no emotion in their eyes.
"Something's wrong!"
Jiang Ling's eyes flashed, and he was almost certain that these sect disciples must be controlled by the human-faced ghost tree.
"Fellow Taoists, be careful, try to cut off those branches."
Afterwards, the war was about to break out, but except for Jiang Ling, the other two sect disciples were at a disadvantage. After all, there were too many disciples of the sects under control, many of whom were in the Xiantian period. Although they were not in their heyday, they were still able to overwhelm them with their numbers.
He became a disciple of two sects.
It didn't take long for the two sects to suffer casualties. Their strength was still too weak.
However, they also confirmed that cutting off the branches was indeed effective. The disciples of the sect stopped attacking them and all fell to the ground. The matter was not as difficult as they thought.
Jiang Ling saw that the situation was not right and decisively took out the Xiantian Sword Gourd.
"Baby, please turn around!"
Sharp sword energy flew out from the Xiantian Sword Gourd one after another, continuously cutting off the branches connecting the disciples of these sects.
I'm afraid the human-faced ghost tree could not have imagined that he not only had the red lotus spirit fire to restrain it, but also had a powerful killing weapon like the innate sword gourd.
After a while, all the disciples of the sect were rescued.
Now, it can be clearly felt that the power of the human-faced ghost tree has dropped a lot.
The disciples of the two sects breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't stand it for long. They were also shocked by Jiang Ling's strength. Compared with him, they felt that they were not on the same level.
"Red Lotus Spiritual Fire!"
Jiang Ling released the red lotus spirit fire again. This time, the human-faced ghost tree was directly ignited, and screams continued to sound.
Suddenly, illusory figures shot out from the dark tree trunks, which looked like the people of Sunset Town.
"Save us!"
"Stop burning, my child..."
"Please, please let us go!"
…
Seeing the phantoms of the people in Sunset Town constantly begging for mercy, Jiang Ling had a complicated look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't be bewitched by the ghost tree. These people are already dead!" Xiao Qingyun reminded.
"I know……"
Jiang Ling took a deep breath and increased the intensity of the fire by another three points until the entire human-faced ghost tree was burned to ashes.
"I hope you can live in a peaceful world in your next life."
In the world of cultivating immortals, human life is like a piece of grass. If something like this happened today, it would not make any waves in the world of cultivating immortals. If you don't have enough strength, you won't even be qualified to live.
Therefore, this world needs justice and chivalry, so that ordinary people can have a chance to live in the light...
…
"Ah...where am I?"
As time passed, these rescued sect disciples gradually woke up.
However, some of the disciples of the sect have died because a large amount of spiritual power and vitality were absorbed by the Ghost Tree with Human Faces, and they have not been able to wake up again.
The fight against evil spirits is so cruel. Although they all regard each other as prey, who will win in the end depends on their strength.
Now, Jiang Ling can also understand why the loose seal of the ghost cave alarmed the entire Qingshan County immortal world.
Just a ghost tree with a human face allowed so many disciples of the sect to stand here. If he hadn't come here because of his pursuit of Yan Shiwu, I'm afraid none of these people would have survived!
Soon, the disciples of Feiyun Sect and Xiangyun Sect explained the situation clearly to those sect disciples, making them feel as if they were in another world.
"Haha, fellow Taoists, they all say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have blessings in the future, and if you lose, you will gain. So keep your spirits up. The fight against evil spirits has just begun. There are more righteous deeds that need to be done by you." Jiang
Ling laughed loudly.
Afterwards, everyone expressed their thanks one after another.
"Everyone, as we all know, for monks, it is the most difficult to repay a favor, and we met by chance, and we are not willing to let this favor become a stumbling block to our future achievements, so we have discussed that all you can use some spiritual stones to simply thank you." Jiang Lingyizheng.
Words.
"..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment before slowly understanding the meaning of what Jiang Ling said and feeling that it made sense.
This is a life-saving favor. It is a huge favor that is really difficult to repay. If both parties agree to use spiritual stones to repay the favor, there will definitely be no problem for future cultivation. Instead, the mind will be clear and everything will go smoothly!
Everyone was also led astray by Jiang Ling at this moment. The main reason was that Jiang Ling's request was very small. It was just some spiritual stones, and there was no requirement for the quantity. At this time, just give it to them.
But there are so many of them. To them personally, it is just a small number, but to Jiang Ling and the others, it is a huge number of spiritual stones!
It has to be said that Jiang Ling has a good grasp of everyone's psychology. Besides, it is reasonable to accept some spiritual stones as a way of saving lives. There is no free lunch in the world.
Immediately afterwards, there was a large-scale thank-you scene, and Jiang Ling and the disciples of the two sects received the spirit stones with a soft hand.
At this time, Xiao Qingyun stood up again and said:
"This time, thanks to fellow Daoist Jiang, he fought against the human-faced ghost tree for the first time, so he deserves more thanks. Some of my spiritual stones should belong to fellow daoist Jiang."
Later, he gave part of the spiritual stone to Jiang Ling.
After Xiao Qingyun set an example, the two sects took out most of the spirit stones and gave them to Jiang Ling.
In fact, this is a matter of distribution. After all, Jiang Ling is the main force. How can the two sects have the nerve to take so many spiritual stones? Give Jiang Ling a few more spiritual stones and build a good relationship. Why not?
This is what most people in the two sects think, and what Xiao Qingyun and Shen Tufei think is: if they dare to take the big head, they are not afraid of being robbed!
Even if they took the initiative to give Jiang Ling more spirit stones, neither of them wanted Jiang Ling to rob them. The days in the Qingyang Secret Realm were too profound...
In the end, Jiang Ling received a total of more than 80,000 spiritual stones. Including those he had received from the two disciples before, there were a full 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!
Unexpectedly, Yan Shiwu did not catch up, but got so many spiritual stones... huh?
Suddenly, Jiang Ling's eyes flashed, as if he suddenly noticed something, and then he smiled and said: "Fellow Taoists, if I have anything to do, I'll leave first. See you later~"
